Alleged rigging: LHC adjourns PTI hearing on basis of unoriginal documents
Speaker of the National assembly Sardar Ayaz Sadiq had filed the petition and contended that the documents and affidavits presented by Imran in the tribunal were not original, and were photocopies.
He pleaded that the tribunal could not hold proceedings unless original documents were provided. In this regard, Justice Ijazul Ahsan had already stayed the tribunal’s proceedings.
On Monday, Imran’s counsel sought a week’s time to file a response to the petition. The judge turned down the request and directed the counsel to advance his conclusive arguments on Tuesday.
The PTI chief had lost his elected seat from NA-122 to Sadiq, and had approached the election tribunal for recounting and inspection of votes.

PTI has given time frame of one month to federal government and Supreme Court to decide about its rigging allegations in four constituencies. Imran Khan has said that he will wait for one week, otherwise Long March will be inevitable. So the judiciary and Election Tribunals have to act fast. NA-122 election result declaring Sardar Ayaz Sadiq of PML-N winner, was challenged by PTI last year, Imran Khan had ample time to present original documents. PTI counsel should proceed according to law. If they have any solid proofs, then they should be able to present them in High Court. Let's see how the further proceedings go.
@Ranjha: Now that was really classic. Haha....
Will he prefer the window seat?
@subi:
You should worry about the turn on zero point, which leads to a quick drive to the airport to catch a midnight flights to Jeddah for long lasting Umrah!
@sabi: classic point!!
@Usman: Why don't you go for long march? I guess there is no u-turn on motorway!
Want Original documents and not photocopies... and will not wait for originals to be presented.. uff bahanay
Complete and utter desperation by PMLN and the courts to hide Nawaz's rigging. You are giving IKs counsel one day to produce the documents as an excuse to throw out the case. Drive from ISL to LHE only takes 5 hrs judge Sahab, they'll have the documents IA.
